Lemon Butter Spritz

By AmberK

Ingredients

• GLAZE:
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
• 1/2 teaspoon Spice Islands® pure vanilla extract
• 2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, lemon juice and peel. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Using a cookie press fitted with a bar disk, form dough into long strips on ungreased baking sheets. Cut each strip into 2-1/4-in. pieces (do not separate pieces).
Bake at 400° for 5-7 minutes or until set (do not brown). Cut into pieces again if necessary. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For glaze, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, cocoa, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand until set
